I have found 3 of Ebenezer Collar's marriage records in Lagrange County, IN. He &
"Polly" Mary Stiner were married Jan 27, 1846. I have concluded that he was
married previously. In the 1850 census in Lagrange Co he is listed with Mary & 7
children, the older five I believe was from a previous wife. My g.grandfather George H.
is listed as 3 years old, as he was born Nov. 28, 1846. He also had a brother James born
in 1849. I believe that George Henry and James were the only two full siblings & their
mother was Polly (Mary) Stiner.
The 1860 census has Ebenezer with Emeline. There were 5 years between James & Alonzo,
whose mother was Emeine. It's been hard to follow my g.g.grandfather Eben Collar! He
kept marrying younger women and he got "younger" as the years went by!! :-) I
believe he had a least 4 wives! After Emeline he married Sabrina Todd Sept 30, 1872.
Yes, my g.grandfather George moved is family to Osceola, MI where he died in a lumbering
accident. I have pics of his gravesite.
Thanks for your input.
